Prob with Hidden feild and MySQL

[Anon]

I am making a script and I have come into a problem. The way this is designed, a person is going to fill out a "Sign up" page, and from there they will go to another page to insert some information I request. On the second page, it will prompt the user for the username and password they entered on the signup page, and the script will automaticly add the username in a hidden feild to the form and that will be inserted into the MySQL database to act as the key feild. Now, on this second page, when I view the source, it displays <.imput type="hidden" name="User" value="username">, so I know that part of the script is working ok, but after I fill out al the required feilds and use phpMyAdmin to view the database to make sure it worked, all feilds are filled in EXCEPT for that one. Here are the links to the script source, if someone could tell me iff they see something wrong, I would appriciate it.

1) don't stored passwords in clear text. its best to use a one way encryption method. there are examples in the articles on how to do this.

2) this is failing because of a spelling error (input):
<imput type=\"hidden\" name=\"User\" value=\"$PHP_AUTH_USER\">

needs to be:
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"User\" value=\"$PHP_AUTH_USER\">

Ahhh! Thanks so much. /And thanks for the suggestion, I planned to bo this, but I wanted to get my script to add and retrive correctly before I worked on encryption.

Bless you :-D
